The accepted grading machines and settings in this European Standard are based on initial type testing (ITT) and initial type calculation (ITC). When additional ITT and ITC documentation from the manufacturers has been evaluated by CEN/TC124/TG1 and the accepted values are given in an ITT report, which is the basis for certification by the Notified Bodies overseeing the producers factory production control (FPC). Those ITT reports may be used as ITT documentation before the information they contain becomes available in an amendment or revision of this European Standard, EN 14081-4. SIST EN 14081-4:2009
